HELP!!! A SPIDER !!

OK lesson learned... NEVER leave the cap off the diagonal on your scope ! Now I've got this stinkin spider who has decided to make a home inside my 102 f6 refracter. It has decided to lay eggs on the inside of the objective lens..

Now taking apart the scope and getting the spider out is easy... however the question is how or what do I use to clean the inside objective with?? Would just soap and water clean the sticky junk off??

Talk about extra terrestial beings while trying to view Jupitor !! ( grin )

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

It seems that different cleaners work well on different things. I'd start with a dilute soap mixture, and see how that works. If there is no luck with that, try isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or lens cleaner. A little Windex might work too (but don't use it on mirrors).
